It was already cold and cold in February, His Majesty Li Er asked someone to call Changsun Wuji and others, and told them about Li Yuanying's plan to build a port.
Originally, Changsun Wuji and the others jumped in their confidence when they saw the confidence in His Majesty Li Er's hand, thinking that Li Yuanying had written some disgusting flattering letter, but after looking at it, they thought it would be better to watch Li Yuanying flatter!
Fang Xuanling spoke first: "Even if His Highness King Teng's people bring back some goods from Koryo, it is not enough to build a new seaport." Then he briefly explained the cost of building the port to His Majesty Li Er, and said that spring plowing is coming soon. , can not condone Li Yuanying's nonsense. You must know that Henan Province is an important grain base, so Li Yuanying can't delay the spring plowing in order to make a big move!
His Majesty Li Er said: "It's not enough, but Yuanying said it won't affect Chungeng, so it doesn't hurt to let him try."
The reason why His Majesty Li Er agreed was that Li Yuanying boasted a lot, saying that it would be good to build a big port, and that a tax customs could be set up to control maritime trade. This seaport must be big, magnificent, and show the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty!
First pick a good place in Henan Province and try to build one. If it works well, places like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Fuguang, Yazhou, and Annan Duhufu will also be built to form a maritime trade chain and improve port supporting services. Let everyone take the sea route with confidence and boldness.
Li Yuanying called this plan the "Pearl of the Orient" project.
According to Li Yuanying, Datang is located in the east where the sun rises, and most of their coasts are in the east of the entire continent. He wants to make these seaports bright oriental pearls, so that they can continuously transport data to Datang. Inexhaustible material and wealth.
In order to protect these seaports well, they have to train powerful sailors to patrol and train on the sea every day, so that everyone who steps into the seaport can feel the strength and bravery of Datang!
This blueprint was so beautiful that His Majesty Li Er was reluctant to give up, so he wanted Li Yuanying to try it. Anyway, Li Yuanying vowed that the establishment of Hong Kong would not lose money, and he didn't even need a copper coin from the court!
Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, knowing that His Majesty Li Er had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him, and let His Majesty Li Er write a reply to Li Yuanying: The port can be built, but there is no money anyway, spring plowing cannot be delayed, and it will be profitable The money has to be handed over to the court.
Wei Zheng twitched his face.
No wonder Li Yuanying was able to come up with the theory of "leading people to be kind". It turned out to be a family tradition. His Majesty Li Er's words were so shameless that even Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji didn't stop him from messing around with Li Yuanying!
Although the imperial court did not give people or money, His Majesty Li Er still agreed to let Li Chunfeng make a trip to help Li Yuanying choose a good date for the port to start construction. In this way, all of Li Yuanying's demands were satisfied!
As for Li Yuanying's praise of Dai Ting, His Majesty Li Er ignored it.
Dai Ting is capable and thoughtful, but it is not suitable to put it on the bright side. Firstly, he was born as a servant, so he is not born with an advantage in entering the court; On the contrary, Ming Lu did not perform well.
His Majesty Li Er asked someone to send the reply to Li Yuanying, and also packed Li Chunfeng by the way.
Sun Simiao, an old miracle doctor, also went to Tengzhou this time. Sun Simiao didn't like to deal with the imperial court, and repeatedly refused to enter the imperial hospital. He stayed in Chang'an for the purpose of repairing "Qian Jin Fang".
In the spring of this year, Sun Simiao has dedicated "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" to the imperial court, and let the imperial hospital review, proofread, and publish it all over the country. This was what Li Yuanying had promised him. After the book was finished, Sun Simiao didn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore, so he simply went to Henan Road with Li Chunfeng to help Li Yuanying open a medical school.
Although His Majesty Li Er was reluctant to let the genius doctor go, he also knew that it was impossible to force him to stay, so he could only let him go after summoning Sun Simiao himself.
In mid-February, everything recovers, there are more vegetables and fruits, and the birds and animals are fat. The things that grow on the mountains and grow at the bottom of the mountains, and the things that swim in the water in the sky all have an edible smell. Fengtailou, which was already booming in business, has made a big move. Dozens of branches have opened at the same time, and a brand new cuisine has been launched at the same time: fried vegetables!
During this period of time, the chefs in each semicolon are busy practicing cooking methods. After getting started, they quickly ravage the seasonal ingredients back and forth, and develop local characteristics according to local conditions.
When Li Yuanying said that they would go back to their hometown and run a Fengtai Mansion by themselves, they thought that Li Yuanying was coaxing them to work hard, but now it has really come true!
It keeps them motivated!
Compared with going out to fight alone, it is much more comfortable to be next to the big tree of Fengtai Building. They can share the profits and earn more. And with Li Yuanying around, no one would trouble them. They could devote themselves to researching and developing new dishes and improving their cooking skills. Anyone with a brain will see that their future will get better and better!
So everyone is holding back their energy and waiting for the day when their semicolon will open.
Put hot oil in the pan and stir-fry over high heat. Although the dishes you make are not as good-looking as finely cooked and stewed, they are better in speed, better in fragrance, and better than nowhere else!
The branch of Fengtai Restaurant opened at the same time, and the stir-fry really caused a wave of enthusiasm in various places. When new things came out, everyone was very curious. Besides, Fengtai Restaurant seldom disappoints, and diners naturally flocked to it. Taste the fragrant stir-fry.
Perhaps because the price is low and more people can afford it, egg fried rice has become the most popular new dish!
The craze for egg fried rice spread from Chang'an all the way to Tengzhou, and then spread to other places by merchants and tourists from all over the world. Soon, everyone who saw Fengtailou wanted to go in and ask for a plate of early adopters!
Wei Zheng and others usually don't go out to eat, so it was a little later when they learned about the cooking trend, and the younger generation in the family got the news first.
When Wei Zheng heard about this, he frowned, very dissatisfied that Li Yuanying would do such a thing easily. Others are making a lot of money in silence, but he is good, making money is making a lot of noise, and everyone is discussing it!
In a few days, many people inquired about more news: It turns out that this dish needs to be served with a special wok to make it convenient!
Now the question is, Fengtai Building opened so many semicolons at once, and the stir-fried dishes produced every day can be enjoyed by so many diners, how many iron pots did Li Yuanying ask people to build? !
Most importantly, where did the iron come from? Did he discover iron ore in Taiyuan last year and use it by himself
Wei Zheng couldn't just sit back and watch Li Yuanying make such a big mistake, so he immediately sent someone to Taiyuan to conduct a thorough investigation, and by the way, went through Li Yuanying's properties in various places to see if there were any mineral deposits that had not been reported. It's okay for Li Yuanying to play and make trouble, but iron mines must never be touched!
As a result, when Wei Zheng checked, he found His Majesty Li Er, and traced the matter of the two brothers' conspiracy to make a pot!
These two brothers are really shameless!
The only one throughout the ages!
Wei Zheng was so angry that he sat in the meeting hall and didn't leave, and he didn't curse anyone, just sat there and looked at His Majesty Li Er, as if he was looking at a heartless man, it was so strange.
His Majesty Li Er saw the Dongchuang incident, so he could only push the pot on Li Yuanying's head, and sighed that he had no money to give Li Yuanying, and he could not give him special treatment in terms of the size of the fief. Others found that the iron ore was offered and they could give some compensation. Let Li Yuanying give away his property in vain, isn't it
Li Chengqian also helped persuade him, saying that Uncle Yao also wanted a little bit of iron, not much, just a few pots, is it a lot? Not much at all. If it wasn't for the huge commotion of the opening of Fengtai Building's branch, no one would have found out about it!
Wei Zheng really wanted to leave his old age and return to his hometown.
If love is used to it, let them get used to it, and when something happens, let's see how they end up!
…
When Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao arrived in Tengzhou, Tengzhou Academy was almost completed.
In March of Yangchun, it is a good time for spring flowers to bloom. Li Chunfeng looked at the busy spring plowing along the way and felt that the scenery was very good. He and Sun Simiao had just arrived outside the city, but Li Yuanying had already greeted them from a distance, and enthusiastically led them into the city, saying: "Master Sun, Xiao Li, I have been waiting for you to come! It just so happens that the academy is about to be built, and we can start Enrollment, Master Sun, you will go to see if the medical school is big enough, if it is not enough, I will ask someone to expand it!"
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said: "If you want to cultivate good doctors, students are more expensive than more." If there are too many students, firstly, it is difficult to teach with too many people, and it is impossible to teach students according to their aptitude; secondly, it is difficult to judge their conduct. Unrighteous students, who knows whether they are using medical skills to save or harm people
Li Yuanying nodded when he heard that, instead of taking Sun Simiao to the palace, he took him directly to the medical school to let Sun Simiao see if there was anything that needed improvement.
Sun Simiao was more straightforward. After reading it, he said that he would not leave and would stay here at the medical school. The place is spacious, bright, and clean. There is a large garden at the back, which is planted with various medicinal materials that are abundant in Henan Province, and has been taken care of by a special medicine boy. Further on, it is connected to the back mountain, which is lush and lush. It is obvious that there are many wild trees and weeds, and I am afraid that some wild medicinal materials can be found.
Sun Simiao is getting old, and he likes this semi-rural style residence very much. Li Yuanying has found all the things he wants to study for him, so what troubles does he have? As for going to the city to make a name for yourself and go to a banquet to show off your prestige, Sun Simiao has no interest at all!
Seeing that Sun Simiao was satisfied with his arrangement, Li Yuanying happily led Li Chunfeng away.
During this period of time, Dai Ting had exchanged all the good things he brought back from Korea into cash, and everything was ready, just waiting for the busiest spring plowing to end and start Li Yuanying's grand "Pearl of the Orient" project.
Li Chunfeng was only sent by His Majesty Li Er to choose a date, and he didn't know what kind of bragging Li Yuanying and Li Er Majesty were bragging about. Hearing that Li Yuanying said that he wanted to build a big port along the coast of the Tang Dynasty, so that the winding coast could string together "Pearls of the Orient", Li Chunfeng couldn't help calculating how much it would cost.
Li Chunfeng said: "Is the reason you opened so many Fengtailou branches just to build this harbor?"
Li Yuanying said: "That's not true. I have already figured out how to use the money earned by Fengtai Building." Now that Li Chunfeng mentioned Fengtai Building, Li Yuanying told Li Chunfeng about another grand plan of his: he wanted to build a tunnel from the The spacious and easy-to-walk road from Mount Tai to Chang'an is equipped with the most and best animal power for the stations along the way. In this way, his elder brother can go to Mount Tai to play as many times as he wants, without wasting money or people at all!
Li Chunfeng understood why His Majesty Li Er indulged Li Yuanying so much.
Li Chunfeng said: "Then where are you going to find money to repair the harbor?"
Li Yuanying said: "You will know soon."
Seeing that Li Yuanying didn't speak, Li Chunfeng didn't ask any more questions, and stayed in Tengzhou with peace of mind.
The manpower is not in place yet, Li Yuanying only asked people to prepare the materials and money for the expansion of the big port, and was not in a hurry to let Li Chunfeng pick a date to start construction immediately.
Li Yuanying devoted himself to the preparation of Tengzhou Academy. Xiao Deyan recommended people to him one after another, but it was still not enough to meet the requirements of his big academy. Even if he hadn't recruited students yet, he still had to find strong enough teachers!
Li Yuanying has already issued a recruitment order, allowing people to freely nominate talents from all over the world. Self-recommendation is fine, even if they are from neighboring states, as long as they are willing to come, he can also help with the settlement and the like!
Li Yuanying gave a very generous salary, and many people came to apply for the job after the year. Li Yuanying asked Wu Mei and the others to take turns picking people, but they really picked out a lot of suitable people. These people don't need to be very talented, as long as they have decent knowledge and good character, it is enough to stay as a teacher.
Li Yuanying also sent people to preach in various states and counties in Henan Province, and brought some children from poor families who lost their fathers and mothers to the academy. Although these people can get some relief, they don't have to think about studying. Now there are many dormitories built in the academy. Although the conditions are not particularly good, they can still keep out the wind and rain. Although the meals provided by the academy are not particularly rich, they will not let any students go hungry.
Li Yuanying promised them to study in Tengzhou without having to register in Tengzhou. If they are promising in the future and they still have to pay for the college’s food and drink, they can use the spare money in their hands to repay the college; if they can’t afford it, then they don’t have to pay back Now, find a way to support yourself!
Education is not a business, and Li Yuanying never thought about making money for the academy from the very beginning. He can afford to raise an academy!
With the completion of the academy, more and more people flocked to Tengzhou from various states and counties in Henan Province. In the days that followed, Li Yuanying would meet with a group of determined candidates for his wife from time to time, and have long talks with them to clarify the educational philosophy of the academy, and resolutely not let his own people hold back.
Li Yuanying had just finished meeting a group of people that day when he saw Gao Yang running over, and told him with a smile that they had discovered an interesting talent, and even Lu Zhaolin said that he was quick-witted and wrote very good poems. Gao Yang said: "I listened to the poems he wrote when he was seven years old, and the poems he wrote are so catchy that even I can remember them!"
Li Yuanying felt very strange: "Then you recite it to me."
Gao Yang felt that Li Yuanying was doubting himself and was unhappy. Now she is also a person who loves reading and poetry!
Gao Yang snorted: "Don't look down on people, I'll remember it after listening to it once!" She recited the "Ode to the Goose" that she had just memorized to Li Yuanying on the spot.
When Li Yuanying heard "Goose Goose Goose", he felt that Gao Yang was fooling around. When he heard "White hair floats in green water, and red palms touch the clear waves", he felt that this person is indeed very spiritual. If it was really written when he was seven years old, then Truly a talent! Li Yuanying asked: "He wrote this poem when he was seven years old, how old is he now?"
Gao Yang said: "How do I know how old he is! But he doesn't look as old as us, he should be fourteen or fifteen years old."
Li Yuanying nodded. He finished his business today, and it was boring to be bored in the palace, so he simply strolled with Gao Yang to the academy to meet Wei Shu and the others, and prepared to get to know the young genius who was said to be able to write poems at the age of seven.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: When it comes to bragging and drawing big cakes, I am the best at it!
